Smithfield, RI - The Wagner College women's basketball team will conclude the 2011-12 season with a 7:00 pm tip-off tonight at Bryant.
 
The Seahawks have played some of their most competitive basketball of late but have not been able to translate the improved play into victories. In their most recent outing, at Central Connecticut St. on Saturday, Wagner opened an early 24-10 lead, with the 14-point bulge representing the Seahawks' largest lead of the season. By halftime, the Blue Devils had cut the margin to one at 28-27.
 
With 7:47 left in the game, Wagner was still very much in the game, trailing by just a 56-54 count. But the Blue Devils answered with a 12-0 run over the next 3:12 in opening 68-54 lead with 5:14 left and never looked back. Junior guard Veronick Fournier (Gatineau, Quebec/ Montmorency) led the Seahawks with 16 points, one shy of her career high, on 6-of-13 shooting along with eight rebounds, two assists and two steals while not committing a single turnover in a route-going 40-minute effort.
 
Freshman forward Stephanie Blais (Sherbrooke, Quebec/ Montmorency) scored 11 of her 13 points in the opening half while junior forward Marie-Laurence Archambault (Montreal, Quebec/ Montmorency) notched 10 of her 12 points in the second half. Senior center Kelly Clark (Neptune, NJ/ St. Rose) was held to six points and six rebounds.
 
Clark continues to lead the Seahawks in scoring (13.8) and rebounding (7.8) and enters the final game of her career with 1,109 points, which is 19th on the Wagner all-time scoring list. Also playina their final games as a Seahawk are guard Kanifa Hicks (Paterson, NJ/ Passaic Tech) and forward Brittney Thorpe (Newport News, VA/ Heritage).

Wagner is 2-26 on the season, 1-16 in the Northeast Conference and have dropped 21 straight games while the Bulldogs enter tonight's fray at 13-15 overall, 6-11 in league play.
